A moment of nostalgia when I found a box of my old toys from when I was a kid after I dug this up…

I was missing a couple of pieces, can you tell?

24/01/10 - Jordan 6’s for 2010

With the recent release of the Jordan VI (6) Black/Varsity Red, 2010 is set to be the year we finally get a retroed injection of the widely popular Jordan 6’s. I’ve piled together a mash of some of the Jordan 6’s you may have already seen together with ones to be released later this year!

Nike and OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital united for the sixth year to create the Doernbecher Freestyle footwear collection where these 6’s were a part of.

My favourite, Black/Varsity Red’s.

What about the White/Varsity Red’s.

Two toned Black/White action.

The Jordan Motorsport  Black/Whites.

21/01/10 - Donate to Haiti

If you haven’t been watching the news or reading the paper and living in your own little bubble of reality all this time you may not have heard that Haiti suffered a catastrophic earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 back on January 12. Haiti is located in the Caribbean and is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere which has struggled under decades of coups, corruption and natural disasters.

Haitian emergency services have been unable to cope in the event of the major disaster, and the country is considered “economically vulnerable” by the Food and Agriculture Organization.  The International Red Cross estimated that about three million people have been affected by the quake.

Countries all over the world have been flooding in with support and aid to the grief-stricken country. Coming from the lucky country, lets do our part people. Every little bit helps… So you might miss out on buying the latest sneakers, maybe a fresh tee or skip lunch for the day, just remember your small contribution is making a deep impact on someone’s life.
